Two-Room Mods New Year

[Norbert]

Let's make the next turn of the year both a "Happy New Year" and a "Two-Room Mods New Year"!
A year ago, after reading through this thread and after playing mk1995's 4-Rooms Levelset, I started wondering if two-room levels could be fun to play.
I think they can be, and I plan to create a mod with nothing but two-room levels that I'll release during the night of 31 December 2013/1 January 2014.
Please join me in creating the best two-room mods we can. It's not a contest; it's a fun challenge.
Broken room links are fine, as long as no more than two rooms are being used per level.
I already have some interesting ideas...

[Iso]

I will definitely participate in this.

If I understand correctly, we must create a "mod" that contains only 2 rooms per level? challenge accepted

[David]

I remember there was a two-room level. It's in the Total Pack, called "Challenging level of only two screens.DAT".

I've already finished levels 1 and 2 of my mod. I must say I really like working on two-room levels. It's less work than lots of rooms, so you can fully focus on making it an interesting experience for the players. (Check out Ron Gilbert's related words of wisdom.) I'm happy with the first two levels; I hope all levels turn out the way these first two did. My plan is to finish the mod in September (including some small graphical changes), so well before the turn of the year. That way I already have it ready for New Year, and I have the last three months of 2013 to fully devote to the next apoplexy. I probably won't be recording any walkthroughs of my own mod this time. [Edit: I did after all. see here.] Other than that, I look forward to playing other people's two-room mods, although I hope they won't be flooded with tricks and near-impossible to perform tasks.

[Norbert]

All right, I've finished all the levels of my next mod.
Some of the levels are fairly interesting, if I may say so myself.
Not a lot of knowledge of tricks is required.
All levels include a LP challenge.
Time to use PR to make some simple resource changes...

Great, I hope I will be able to check it out before my departure.

[Norbert]

Going on vacation in January, where to?

[Jakim]

That's done.
Time to work on a sweet trailer.
The trailer should be ready+released this weekend.

[Edit: trailer released. See the mod's thread.]

Hey I found this topic now! Maybe KingOfPersia level can be added too, it was created in 2006, it's very good. I'll search it and post it here

See David's post in this thread:

That's probably the one you mean.

Yes!! I had not read that! The credits for that .dat go to KingOfPersia anyway, other levels are modified too but he said they he was making experiments, they were not complete yet, but level 1 is complete

(Spoiler warning...)
In this video Moscow Tracer finishes that first level:



The beginning kinda is trick 32...



...which is a combination of two videos by AuraDragon (1, 2; mentioned here) of that level by KingOfPersia.
